As widely known, Jungkook co-composed and co-wrote the OST and he previously mentioned that he actually made the melody originally for his mixtape.

The OST charted at #1 on popular Japanese charts, ie. LINE Music Daily and Real-time, Mora Daily and Real-time, also Recochoku Daily, which is harder for K-pop acts to infiltrate. It also debuted at #1 on Oricon Daily chart with 13,089 sales, which became BTS's highest debut sales on this chart. 

'Your Eyes Tell' also became the biggest streaming debut on Oricon for a Korean act in history with 5.1million streams before 'Dynamite' took over the throne. The OST debuted at #8 on Billboard Hot100 Japan also hit #1 on Billboard World Digital Song Sales. 

'Your Eyes Tell' is also the fastest song by an Asian act to reach 100 #1's on iTunes and the first BTS song to top all 8 biggest music markets on iTunes.
